Will the revised Maruti Suzuki car GST rate force Maruti to launch more budget-friendly models?

Possibly yes, but not immediately. Maruti is watching market response first. If GST cut brings high sales, they may just continue current models. If rivals like Tata or Hyundai launch super-low-cost models, then Maruti may react with new budget car.

I don’t think so. Maruti already has many budget models — Alto, S-Presso, WagonR. They don’t need to launch even cheaper cars. Instead, they will focus on improving features in existing ones to keep sales strong.

Yes, I think so. When GST rates are lower, there is more competition in the budget segment. Maruti will try to capture as many buyers as possible by launching more affordable models or cheaper variants. Maybe they can bring back an ultra-low-cost car like a rival to Tata Nano but with better design and safety.
